Content plus co-working
Paul Giguere had a alternative view on our post about coworking and informal learning -
“I think however that the idea of informal learning and coworking, as described, are a bit off. I agree that informal learning can incorporate the social aspects of learning by and through other people, but in and of itself, this definition is only a part of the equation… The content is important (Corbett would have you believe otherwise) and workers need access to that content when they need it and in the manner they need it to meet the contextual requirements of the task at hand.”
Read Paul’s full post for context. Matt posted a comment which is keeping the conversation going -
“One of the things about Co-Working is that itâs an exploration into what might be possible if people start to consider other methods of working. I used to âco-workâ? in university more than a decade ago. It was just the way we worked…. Content plus co-working plus good people plus whatever else may make for a compelling learning environment for some disciplines.”
